Rest in peace Mr Nimoy, thank you for being part of something special, that gave inspiration, hope , joy, entertainment and fond memories to everyone who enjoys and watches Star Trek
SPOCK PRIME (CONTD)
This was a gift to me. Representing
a dream. One we were unable to fulfill.
(softly)
The way you can now.
KIRK/ SHATNER
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to
you
(stops, grins)
I know I know, its illogical to
celebrate something you had nothing to do
with, but I havent had the chance to
congratulate you on your appointment to
the ambassadorship so I thought Id seize
the occasion Bravo, Spock they tell
me your first mission may take you away
for awhile, so Ill be the first to wish
you luck and to say
(beat, emotional) I miss you, old friend.
I suppose Id always imagined us
outgrowing Starfleet together. Watching
life swing us into our Emeritus years
I look around at the new cadets now and
cant help thinking has it really been
so long? Wasnt it only yesterday we
stepped onto the Enterprise as boys?
That I had to prove to the crew I
deserved command and their respect?
I know what youd say Its their turn
now, Jim And of course youre
right but it got me thinking:
Whos to say we cant go one more round?
By the last tally, only twenty five
percent of the galaxys been chartered
Id call that negligent. Criminal even
an invitation. You once said being a
starship captain was my first, best
destiny if thats true, then yours is
to be by my side. If theres any true
logic to the universe well end up on
that bridge again someday.
Admit it, Spock. For people like us, the
journey itself is home.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
I....I have no words for this. He was a great man, a great actor, and an icon above all else.
There are no words that i can say but this: "live long, and prosper Mr. Nimoy, as you travel to the next star on the right and straight on till morning"
I wonder if Craptic will take note or do anything at all.
Some of the staff have already posted. Your play on the name of Cryptic does disservice the sentiment of this thread.
"I'm not big on telepaths myself. I'm not big on guns either. But if everyone else has them, I want to make sure I can get my hands on the biggest one I can."
I think about myself as like an ocean liner that's been going full speed for a long distance, and the captain pulls the throttle back all the way to 'stop,' but the ship doesn't stop immediately, does it? It has its own momentum and it keeps on going, and I'm very flattered that people are still finding me useful.
"...'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.' ... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. I fear that today--"
- (TNG) Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie

Mr Nimoy will surely be missed, and the world made a little colder without him in it.
R.I.P Mr. Nimoy
And to Mr Spock... "and of all the souls I have encountered in my travels... his was the most... human."

I wish that scene had gotten made.

That was the most beautiful use of a Spock quote in this context I have seen so far. Thank you.

I agree, this is a thread of remembrance of a great man, leave criptic/PWE hate at the door.
to paraphrase in his own words

Leonard Nimoy
Leonard Nimoy
Irish eyes, there for me
Laughter in the rain
You called me child
My heart ran wild
I must have been a pain
Irish eyes were kind to me
You said I was a kid
The one regret
I harbor still
Is what we never did
We sat in cars and later bars
I wish we could again
To pay to you
My gratitude
For what you gave back then.
They came to me too late to say
That you were gone from now
Oh, how I wish
That I had known
And could have helped somehow.
I carry still within my ear
The laughing voice I heard
When Irish eyes
Did smile at me
Now, fly away, my bird.
We love you Leonard, Peace and long life and may we meet again in the Final Frontier
rest in peace Mr. Nimoy.
You will be remembered.
As a Trek fan the only thing I am able to say right now is the following words by quoting that nice sentence, which was posted before:
